Roll up your sleeve and support your local first responders by giving blood at upcoming Boots & Badges blood drives in both Roland and Muldrow.

Our Blood Institute (OBI) will hold a blood drive in Roland on Thursday, June 6, from 2 to 6 p.m. at the community room.

Muldrow’s will take place on Wednesday, June 12, from 1 to 6 p.m. at the Muldrow Fire Station.

Each donor will receive a free ticket entry to Frontier City or Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, and a Boots & Badges T-shirt, while supplies last.

Anyone who is healthy and 16 years old or older can give blood. Blood can be donated every 56 days and platelets can be given as often as every seven days, up to 24 times a year.

Appointments can be made online at obi.org or by calling 877-340-8777.
